la 4e de couv. indique : "Les marbriers qui travaillaient pour le roi de France n'ont sans doute jamais atteint la renommée et la célébrité des peintres, sculpteurs, architectes ou même des ébénistes du Grand Siècle. Ils furent pourtant des artisans indispensables à certaines des plus grandes réalisations des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles. C'est à partir des sources anciennes, de documents conservés aux Archives nationales et de l'étude des oeuvres que cette « histoire du marbre » est présentée. Explorant tant la matière et les enjeux de son approvisionnement que les hommes qui la façonnaient, ou encore les oeuvres produites qui composaient de véritables tableaux polychromes, Versailles en ses marbres apporte un regard inédit sur les décors qui firent la gloire et la beauté des demeures de Louis XIV."

"Marble is one of the great veins through the architectural tradition and fundamental building block of the Mediterranean world, from the Parthenon of mid-fifth century Athens, which was constructed of pentelic marble, to Justinian's Hagia Sophia in Constantinople and the Renaissance and Baroque basilica of St. Peter's in the Vatican. Scholarship has done much in recent years to reveal the ways and means of marble. The use of colored marbles in Roman imperial architecture has recently been the subject of a major exhibition and the medieval traditions of marble working have been studied in the context of family genealogies and social networks. In addition, architectural historians have revealed the meanings evoked by marble revetted and paved surfaces, from Heavenly Jerusalem to frozen water. The present volume builds upon the body of recent and emerging research - from antiquity to the present day - to embrace a global focus and addressing the more unusual (or at least unexpected) uses, meanings, and aesthetic appeal of marble. It presents instances where the use of marble has revolutionized architectural practice, suggested new meaning for the built environment, or defined a new aesthetic - moments where this well-known material has been put to radical use."--Provided by publisher.
